-

Realization of spreadsheets and graph for tuning and balancing
-
Resources and upgrade placement
-
Work with writer to blend gameplay mechanics and narrative

Collaborating closely with environment artists, animators, programmers, etc.
-
So much more!
The work was completely done remotely; and overall, as the game's sole, lead game designer I was responsible for all design decisions made.
During production, my days were mainly divided into two parts. The first where I held meetings with the director and production to make design decisions. And a second operational part divided mainly between implementing some of the main game mechanics in the engine, and creating graphics and spreadsheets for the creation and balancing of the game mechanics.
